Parler is in violation of the AWS AUP that they agreed to when they signed up. That's why they included posts from Parler that called for violence.. because that's a prohibited use of AWS. https://aws.amazon.com/aup/

If you are violating their AUP, you should be concerned they might cut you off.

If you disagree that those posts called for violence, I'd like to see the mental gymnastics you come up with.

which part? " may be harmful to others" ? This is a clause so broad as to cover nearly all speech.

Businesses can refuse service for any reason unless it's a reason prohibited by law. It is annoying that terms of service have broad sweeping language on prohibited uses but it is impossible to list every possible scenario.
